As some of you may not know this about me, I write about romance fraud on Medium. Medium is a platform for writers and readers, and I have my own publication (Fake Love), which I use to raise awareness and share stories of victims and scam-fighters.
And of course, there are scammers on a platform like Medium and they follow certain tags. So, every time I post something about these scams, I get a scammer leaving a comment.
This morning, I woke up to such comments…
They were coming from Admin (@barnikaeoka), and all three responses/comments were left for three different scam-related posts of mine.
The first one was left for Love Costs You A Lot More Than You Bargained for If You’re in Love with a Scammer post:
After being deceived by an online romance scam, many victims felt hopeless. Roselanegp.com stepped in to track the funds, liaise with authorities, and help them reclaim what was stolen, restoring both their finances and peace of mind.
The second one was left for Tips to Safeguard Yourself Against Romance Scammers post:
Roselanegp.com helps victims of romance scams who were tricked into sending money to fake partners. By investigating transactions, tracing funds, and coordinating with banks, they’ve successfully helped many recover lost money while guiding victims through the legal process.
And the last one was left for Leaked Nigerian Scammers’ Playbook (a.k.a. ‘Format’) post:
For victims of online investment scams, Roselanegp.com offers more than fund recovery — they provide clarity, support, and actionable guidance to rebuild trust in managing finances.
Now, the website in question, roselanegp.com, is a professional-looking website offering a full range of asset recovery services.
But is Rose Lane (GP) Limited legit?
According to ScamMinder, the trust score is low, the website content is highly suspicious and exhibits several red flags commonly associated with scam websites.
Here’s their report:
- Overpromising Recovery: The website claims to help recover money lost to online scams, including crypto scams, Forex scams, and binary options scams. It’s important to note that legitimate financial recovery services typically don’t make such bold and sweeping promises, especially in the high-risk and volatile realm of cryptocurrencies.
- Lack of Specifics: The website lacks specific details about its team, experience, and successful case studies. Legitimate financial recovery firms often provide transparent information about their professionals, track record, and client testimonials.
- Vague Language: The language used on the website is vague and lacks professional tone. Phrases like ‘we take pride in our track record’ without any verifiable evidence are common in scam websites.
- High Volume of Scam-Related Content: The website features a disproportionately high number of news articles related to scams, which could be a tactic to create a sense of urgency and fear, common in scam operations.
- Lack of Regulatory Information: There is no mention of regulatory compliance or oversight, which is crucial for any legitimate financial recovery service.
- Unverifiable Claims: The website’s claims about its global reach and success in recovering funds from various regions lack verifiable evidence.
- Generic Contact Information: The contact information provided is generic and lacks specific details, such as the names of key personnel or physical office addresses.
- Unusual Business Model: The website’s business model, which focuses solely on fund recovery from online scams, is atypical for a legitimate financial services company.
- Recent Domain Registration: The website’s domain was registered only a few months ago, which is often a red flag for scam websites that frequently change their domain names to evade detection.
- High-Risk Financial Services: Dealing with fund recovery from online scams, especially in the cryptocurrency and Forex domains, is inherently high-risk and requires a high level of expertise and regulatory compliance. The website’s lack of detailed information on these aspects is concerning.
It’s interesting, isn’t it?
So, I started digging and found a free blog with the same name on Blogspot.
The blog has only one post: How Rose Lane (GP) Helps Investors Recover from Scams. Another interesting point here is the date of this one and only post: September 12, 2025.
I also investigated their address in London. Based on the street view of the number 16 townhouse, there is no indication or sign to show that it’s a business. It looks more like a residential townhouse, as you can see it yourself:
Rose Lane (GP) is a young website, and yet its first article is dated January 3, 2023 and the latest blog post was on March 11, 2023. So, nothing significant to report after that? No testimonials? No industry news?
I know for a fact that you can backdate your posts on WordPress easily, and having old-looking posts on your website adds credibility. Well, in this case, it’s false credibility.
More suspicions on the way…
I ran the information through Scam Detector and Scam Adviser and here’s what I found:
Scam Detector attempted to extract content from the website and discovered that the business is associated with a popular Financial Services industry, and decided that it’s just a facade.
Scam Adviser’s Trustscore:
Scam Advisor also put together this report:
A young website offering risky money recovery services, which uses link-shortening and hides the owner’s identity, looks pretty suspicious to me.
And, that’s not it. Their Trustpilot reviews are yet another story…
The Trustpilot Reviews
The company has been reviewed 25 times. The 5-star reviews look and sound like they are scripted. On top of that, two of their ‘happy’ customers used the exact same words — the first and the last review. Have a look:
While the company ignores these 5-star reviews, any negative review is responded to with a claim that they have no record of the customer.
Filipe’s review (above) says it all. Luckily, Filipe hasn’t been attacked by the company on Trustpilot yet, but I can tell that it’s coming.
This whole experience, which started my day this morning, prompted me to investigate further.
When I copied and pasted the way they spelled out the website’s address within their posts and did an additional search, I discovered yet another Medium account with the same ‘admin’ name!
Now, I have already reported the first account based on their comments, and the account is now deleted. However, the problem with this second ‘admin’ account is that Medium takes a long time if you report an account without an obvious response to a post.
So, I’m waiting…
